5 Gracious is the Lord and righteous;yes, our God is merciful.
6 The Lord protects the simple;I was helpless, but he saved me.
7 Return, my soul, to your rest;the Lord has been very good to you.
8 For my soul has been freed from death,my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
9 I shall walk before the Lordin the land of the living.
10 I kept faith, even when I said,“I am greatly afflicted!”
11 I said in my alarm,“All men are liars!”
